Human Wheels Uke tab by John Cougar Mellencamp

[Intro]
|C     |D     |Em     |      |
|C     |D     |Em     |      |
|C     |D     |G D / F# |Em    |
|C     |D     |Em     |      |

[Verse]
Em             D        C                Em
This land today, shall draw its last breath
Em        D        C           Em
And take into its ancient depths
D                          Em
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self.
D                             Em
While I, with human-hindered eyes
D                G      D / F#      Em
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life,
C                 D             Em
Stand on this single print of time.

[Chorus]
C        D          G     D / F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round
C            D               Em
  While the clock keeps the pace.
C        D          G     D / F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round
C           D           Em
  Help the light to my face.

[Instrumental]
|C     |D     |Em     |      |
|C     |D     |Em     |      |
|C     |D     |G D/F# |Em    |
|C     |D     |Em     |      |

[Verse]
Em           D        C        Em
That time, today, no triumph gains
Em      D        C        Em
At this short success of age.
D                           Em
This pale reflection of its brave and blundering deed
D                        Em
For I, descend from this vault,
D                    G    D / F# Em
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
C           D             Em
Knowledge, sure, from the seed.

[Chorus]
C        D          G     D / F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round
C            D               Em N.C.
  While the clock keeps the pace.
C        D          G     D / F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round
C           D           Em
  Help the light to my face.

[Bridge]
|D    Em|N.C.   | x2
|C      |D      |Em     |       | x4
|D    Em|N.C.   | x3
|D    Em|       |

[Verse]
Em             D        C        Em
This land, today, my tears shall taste
Em        D        C     Em
And take into its dark embrace.
D                    Em
This love, who in my beating heart endures,
D                          Em
Assured, by every sun that burns,
D                      G     D / F#     Em
The dust to which this flesh shall return.
D                  G        D / F#     Em
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God.

[Chorus]
C     N.C.
Human wheels spin round and round

While the clock keeps the pace.

Human wheels spin round and round

Help the light find my face.
C        D          G     D / F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round
C            D               Em
  While the clock keeps the pace.
C        D          G     D / F# Em
  Human wheels spin round and round
C           D            Em
  Help the light find my face.
